' To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, GUSTAVUS LENAU and EDWARD BENT, of North Attleborough,

in the State of Massachusetts, have made an Figure 1 is a top-edge view of ourirnproved ring.

Fig. 2 is a back view of the same. Fig. 3 is an end view, showing the catch thrown back. Figs. 4 and 5 are detail sectional views.

In the drawings, Ais an elliptically-shaped ring, disjoined at B, and having openings 0 C made in the back for the reception of spurs D D, attached to the transverse arm E, and 1ever F,, pivoted to the ring A at the point Gr. At the disjoined ends B of the ring is Formed a hollow recess, H, (shown in section in Fig. 4,) which operates as a clasp to hold the lever F in place when once brought to its seat, for thepurpose of holding the ends of the scarf;

or a recess, I, may be made in the sides of the lever F, the ends of the ring A being rounded or beveled, in order to catch therein, as shown in section in Fig. 5.

Instead of having the openings (1 O in the back of the ring for the reception of the spurs D D, the spurs maybe made to strike beyond the edge of the ring.

Either one or more spurs may be attached to, andbe operated by, the lever F; but we prefer two, as shown in the drawings, operating upon both ends of the scarf.

We claim as our invention- 1. A scarf-ring consisting of the disjointed ring Aand pivoted transverse leverF, having spurs D, substantially as described.

2. The disjointed ring A, provided with side openings, 0 O, for the reception of the spurs D D, combined with the transverse pivoted lever F, substantially as described.
